How to do a Steam Bath with our Breath of Life
How do a steam bath for your lungs:
Boil water: Bring water to a boil and pour it into a heatproof bowl.
Add Herbs: 3-6 Tablespoons of the Breath of Life loose leaf medicinal remedy.
Create a steam tent: Drape a towel over your head to create a tent and trap the steam.
Inhale: Lean over the bowl so your face is 8–12 inches away from the water. Inhale slowly and deeply through your nose for 2–5 minutes. You can also try inhaling through your mouth and exhaling through your nose.
Repeat: You can repeat the process once or twice a day if you still have symptoms.
Add essential oils: You can add a few drops of eucalyptus, tea tree, or peppermint essential oils to the water to help reduce congestion.
You can also try using a store-bought steam inhaler, which can reduce the risk of burns. Make sure to clean and replace the filters regularly.
Steam can help with respiratory health by loosening mucus and making it easier to expel. This can help prevent mucus from becoming a breeding ground for bacteria and contributing to respiratory infections.
***You should not steam if you have been diagnosed with heart failure. And… if you have been diagnosed with heart failure, here is a genuine hug from all of us at 3 of Cups Tea.
